This one isn't really an assortment of accessories or as moodboard-y as the others, but is mostly dedicated (a dedication! How fancy!) to my pal Laia, who gave me this record, and for whom these shoes were basically BORN, and...yeah. You needed to know all that also by the way, duh.

I kind of hate the way I took this picture because the shoes are arranged really awkwardly and pointlessly but they are also very shiny and satiny and I like seeing Kim Gordon's face sneaking around behind the right foot. You stop getting into trouble! Don't make me come back there!And, y'know, cats! Free Kitten! DO I SENSE A THEME?

I've always been taught to concentrate more on the form and silhouette in fashion - but this collection has really made me appreciate the surface. The cats/birds/flower prints are really powerful. It really hit me when I saw those photos of you wearing the stuff. You really created an alternate kind of head-space with the way you looked, the setting, and of course the Miu... ("Just a minute, please, I'm coming!".............................it was just a door to door salesman) Miu.

I am sad to hear this is the last Miu Miu moodboard! Those shoes are just too wonderful. If only I could touch those shoes. Anyways, great post. Miu Miu is the best, this collection is the best. Have you considered splurging a bit to buy a pair of these shoes, or even a piece of the clothing? Have a great day!

@ statement: wow, that really is a statement... bit harsh, don't you think? might even call it insolent, if you pardon my French. to allege someone has sold his/her soul might be considered an insult, you know? on your behalf i'll assume the true meaning of your words was lost in translation.

@Tavi: Sorry, just had to say that. you don't need anybody to speak for you.

anyway, nice method to stow away shoes ^_^ if i had the money i'd let me tailor a suit with this pattern. *sigh*

Great blog. I admire you:) You have an original style. I have a request ... Give me the platform from Miu Miu from a photo <3 They are fantastic! Sorry for any mistakes, just learn your language. Greetings from Polish; * Feel free to me: www.bricemour.blogspot.com

@ cancercowboy :Reacting like a shocked vestal or shilly-shallying on the subtleties of English language will not remove the facts that ads -even disguised as mood boards- remain ads, and the time when a smart blogger like Tavi could share her opinions with integrity and independance, and had the elegance to save us from smelly sponsored posts, is now over. Saddly.

@statement:don't want to use this comment section for personal and kinda pointless chitchat but what you mistake for the reaction of a "shocked vestal" was envisaged as a (obviously failed) tongue-in-cheek attempt to say that i think its a bit thick to accuse a 13 year old of selling her soul for a pair of shoes. yeah, the companies probably had the additional advertising in the back of their heads. so what? thats neither Tavi's fault nor is it her responsibility to save us from something or other. simply not her job. its solely the reader's responsibility to take care of oneself. and i doubt that the rookie gets paid millions to lure us into buying stuff many of the readers would buy anyway, if they could afford it. you seem to think she committed some sort of treason or got 'corrupted', respectively 'sold out'. you must know someone pretty well to make such a statement without sounding (or actually being) presumptuous. you feel like she violated your standards? maybe your standards weren't her standards to begin with. or maybe you are way too huffy and just a tiny bit paranoid? maybe you are just jealous? who knows? i certainly don't. please just remember that Tavi seems to write this blog for fun and you have the choice to completely ignore it.

no offence, but i don't see the necessity to discuss this any further. if you do, feel free to do so via mail.

"You know, Tavi, like her or don't like her, she's 13 — whether she even really writes it herself, the idea that she has gotten all this attention, it's because of the Internet, not because of anything else. [At Elle] we're talking about people who have really done this their entire lives, who've really covered fashion, who really understand fashion ... understand the history of fashion, can critique it from a point of view, [can] actually relay it back to something they've experienced and understand. I don't think Tavi even knows what happened five years ago. She has every right to [post] on the Internet, she has every right to have the following she has ... everybody can follow her and find her creative or funny or quirky or inspiring, but the idea is there are people here [at Elle] who do know the history and I think that Anne [Slowey] stresses this. It's absolutely true: if you don't know what you're talking about, then do you really have the credibility to talk about it?"

i'm fairly new to your blog... and by fairly i mean the other day my friend left a comment on my facebook telling me to look up tavi the thirteen year old blogger because she said i reminded her of her... or you. it kind of threw me off because i'm 19. but then i looked your blog up!and i was still confused because it's a fashion blog and well, i do admire the industry, but i mean... my major is civil engineering. design is involved but of a different sort. :pthen i started reading and i realized she meant more personality-wise i think. haha and i was by no means offended. i also look 13 so that could have been the implication. not important!

anyway this comment is really to ask you a question. you said this all started off spontaneously for the most part. it was only recently (now a few of years) that you had gotten into fashion. you definitely know what you're doing when it comes to design and coordination, which can be learned but that doesn't seem to be the case for you.

...ok i'm going to skip straight to the question... do you see yourself doing this (broad, i knoooow) with your life, something else, both? do you think your ~passion for fashion~ (yeah i'm prty lame) will stick with you? is that a stupid question?

Hello Tavi!!!!!!!You are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I would like to do my blog like you.I live in italian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!!!!!!!My blog is: http:\\fashionstylegrina.blogspot.comKISSSSSSSSSSSBy grina
